Miracle Mile (1989)
Guest Programmed by Olympia Timberland Regional Library
Introduced by TRL Film Club facilitator, Zach Havekost, on Friday, March 5 at 7pm
After 30 years of searching, Harry has finally met Julie, the girl of his dreams. But before they have a chance to go on their first date, Harry answers a phone call meant for someone else. The pleading voice on the other end of the line has some distressing news: World War III has begun and Los Angeles will be destroyed by nuclear missiles within the hour. As this seed of information grows into panic, Harry races across a deteriorating L.A. in a desperate attempt to connect with Julie. Steve DeJarnatt’s 1988 cult classic has only found increased urgency today, as the fracturing of collective truth and social media echo chambers have only exacerbated the spread of dangerous misinformation. Miracle Mile is an intense ticking-clock apocalyptic thriller with the beating heart of a true love story. We don’t have much time. – Zach Havekost
